step down from the soapbox. What we need for the next two
years is reasoned, rational and respectful discourse. Drop
the name calling and demonizing of those who disagree with
us. Name calling and demonization do little to further real
dialog. One does not have to have an academic degree to be
capable of rational, respectful dialog either. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I
think it of interest to go back to sixteenth century
thinkers. I would suggest a read of “The Politics of
Obedience The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude”, Etienne De
La Boetie. It is less than thirty pages and one can find an
English translation easily. I believe it can be found on
line for free as it is long out of print. It does explain
why politics in America today works the way it does. A good
follow up would be to at least skim Machiavelli’s “The
Prince”. To put an “American” perspective on things, read
some of the writings of Thomas Paine. For a European view on
America see de Tocqueville’s “Democracy in America”. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

to think about…is our hobby a right or a privilege? How
easily could our hobby be restricted/eliminated by
government? During WWII, Italians and Germans had radios
(even receivers) confiscated. If you think this could not
happen today, what do you think of the IRS today? Is it a
totally benign Federal Agency or a political tool?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
